That’s all the new Windows 11 update solves
As you probably already know, Microsoft has several types of updates for Windows 11. On the one hand, there are security updates, which are critical and necessary. On the other hand, among other types of updates there are additional updates you can install or wait for them to appear on your computer later with a monthly patch that Microsoft releases at the right time. In this case, we are talking about KB5037853 – an optional update for versions 22H2 and 23H2 of Windows 11, but it is very important to install it as soon as possible.
Big bugs solved
It can be said that this update is, above all, highly recommended to avoid two problems caused by File Explorer. Of course an update solves more problems which we will talk to you about later, but these two are the main ones.
One of them was a slowdown of no more and no less than two minutes at startup after marking a folder on a shared network to provide quick access to it. Once you install update KB5037853, you won’t have to worry about this anymore. For many users who are used to using this feature on shared networks is a relief as it greatly reduces the effectiveness of this type of tool.
In addition to this, another resolved issue with Explorer: a crash that occurred in Windows when we swiped from the edge of the screen after disabling the screen swipe policy. This was not as problematic as the previous one since it could have been avoided without resorting to this move, but the good news is that it is no longer something to worry about.
Other news and improvements
In total, the KB5037853 update includes 32 new features, including improvements or solutions to bugs like the ones we mentioned. For example, the problem that part of the screen was distorted if you played the video in a Chromium-based browser such as Opera or Google Chrome. We also fixed an issue where printers were causing problems when using the AppContainer tool.
Users who, on the other hand, use an email encryption app will be happy to see that the app no longer asks the user for personal details every time an encrypted email is opened. of such kind problem that reduced performance and causing irritation among users is something that Microsoft in no way wants to be present in Windows 11. Also, with the update, users who have LE (Low Energy) type headphones via Bluetooth connection will be happy to see that the connect-disconnect menu appeared again. Previously it was not displayed and was somewhat problematic.
But, as we pointed out, not all new developments are solutions to mistakes. There are also new features. For example, you can now use the Windows sharing window more easily and avoid problems in the first place. The reason for this is that a system has been built in so that you will no longer close the window by mistake if you click outside of it. Now you will need to click on the new close button that has been enabled for this occasion. For its part, Explorer has a new feature that allows you to drag and drop files between navigation paths in the address bar. To do this, you will only need to use your mouse and, as you will see, it will be very simple.
This news is available if you update Windows 11 manually or, if you don’t, as we told you, they will appear in a few days with the next major operating system update. However, it doesn’t hurt to have them as soon as possible to avoid possible mistakes. If you want to see the full list of changes, go to the Microsoft website where this update is available.
